Hardware and network configuration

You’ve got the powerful machines.
And you’ve got the clever clever
software. But one crucial module is
still missing before the individual
components become a smart
factory – the matching hardware
and network technology. After all,
the productivity and efficiency of
production at a company is also
dependent on how well the individual
operational levels are interlinked.
To provide you with complete
support here, we can supply
you with the right infrastructure to
go with our SitePilot software solutions
at the same time if required.
Would you like to set up mobile or
inter-plant communication, be able
to trust in secure data transmission
or be able to use remote diagnosis
and maintenance? No problem: On
request we will be glad to set up the
relevant components such as VPN,
Remote Services and WLAN.

Industrial Ethernet network

The Krones industrial Ethernet network
links the individual machines,
assemblies and corporate levels together
in a network. This ensures
that information always gets to
wherever it is needed quickly and
reliably.

Benefits to you

Made-to-measure technology
The hardware and operating systems
used are individually customised
to your infrastructure.

Stable infrastructure
When choosing components, we
look for efficient and energysaving
technologies. By using
redundant designs for our systems,
we prevent malfunctions
and failures.

Seamless integration
The hardware and network technology
used can be seamlessly
embedded in existing IT landscapes.

Consultancy

New business requirements, software
trends, laws, regulations and
the growing complexity of IT landscapes
mean the food and beverages
industry faces ever new challenges.
To provide you with support,
we developed concrete and demand-
driven answers to all questions
relating to the use and development
of your IT landscape within
the framework of a consulting project.
On the road to achieving a
powerful strategy tailored to your
company, your plant,
your value chain and your goals, a
consulting project involves the following
stages:

Big picture
What does the ideal picture of a
completely automated and integrated
system landscape for your
company or plant look like?

Analysis of potential
What state is your IT landscape in
specifically at the present time?
And what state should it be in or
what is the goal to be achieved?

Fit/gap analysis
What areas of action are required
and in what order in order to
achieve the goal by the fastest
route?

Masterplan
How can the findings from the
preceding stages be effectively
put into practice?

If required, the project can lead to
detailed engineering, which describes
all the necessary requirements
individually and may lead to
a concrete requirements specification.

Benefits to you

In a consulting project we provide
you with support on …

aligning the individual areas of
production strategically for the
future.

finding and exploiting potential
for optimisation in your operational
processes.

precisely defining the IT landscape
required for your goals and
